Is the Porn Blackmail Scam Real?

by Josh Kirschner on April 22, 2020

What would you do if you received an email from someone claiming to have hacked your computer and recorded you via your webcam while you were engaged in watching porn, then threatening to send the video to everyone in your email and social media contact lists if you don’t pay a $260 ransom? Would you pay the ransom? Even if you’ve never viewed porn, what if they made the same threat to reveal the private details of all your emails?

This is exactly the situation some of our readers found themselves in recently, and they contacted us for help on how to proceed.

Here is an example of one the emails [grammatical errors left intact]:

Good Morning my friend. I represent the group of web criminals in Iran. I use this mail address because we think that you will check it. Few times ago my team put the virus on web-site with porn and as far as you clicked on a play button your system started shooting your screen and activating camera to capture you self-abusing. Eventually I mean you understand what compromising evidence Ive earned. Moreover, this software made your device act as dedicated server with plenty of functions like keylogger, parser etc. To sum up, my software picked all data, especially all your contacts from messengers, e-mails, social networks. If you wanna make me silent you must make a transaction of 260 dollars with bitcoin. 1K2auXQEKz7Ro8cRa2xr3bAPV2n6KT5vi1 You must use it as usual credit card number. If you send bitcoins nobody will see your shame. Watch youtube manuals about methods of buing BTC... I can offer you this exchanger: localbitoins.com.  If you have a problem with this, you can search comfortable ATM for bitcoin at coin atm radar. I give you no more than twenty four hours since you read our message to pay. You can complain cops, but they can not find us I use bot network, and of course we live abroad. If you want us to show proofs we will share it to seven mates from your data after that you will be given their contacts. So you will ask them if something strange was received about you. For some questions just reply. Dont be fullish, AmAZinGcRackeR$.

Scary, right? And there have been instances where victims’ computers were hacked, they were filmed in various states of undress (or worse) and then blackmailed that may make this threat seem all too real. But there are several indications that this is nothing more than a phishing scam, hoping to rope in active porn watchers with false threats (an easy demographic to target via mass email given that the world’s largest porn site, Pornhub.com, gets 75 million visitors PER DAY).

First, there is nothing in the email that demonstrates they know anything personally about you: it’s not addressed to you by name and there’s no detail about what site you supposedly visited and when. Nor did they supply a screenshot of the “self-abusing” they allege to have captured. In fact, they are explicitly discouraging you from asking for proof, by threatening to share said “proofs” with your “mates” if you ask. That is completely contrary to how we would expect a real hacker/blackmailer to act – if I wanted to scare the bejesus out of you to get you to pay, the first thing I would do is show you a compromising screen capture to prove that this is very, very real.

Another red flag is that when our readers ran scans using antimalware tools, no malware was detected. Antimalware tools aren’t perfect, but the better ones should have picked up the type of remote administration tool (RAT) described in the email.

Searching the web, there are reports of people receiving similar email scams, going back at least to last fall. The wording of the email varies, including where the scammers claim they’re from, the nature of their threat and the amount of money being demanded. Some people are falling for them, but fortunately not many. I researched a selection of the bitcoin accounts used in these scams and none of the emails had duped more than a handful of victims.

Unfortunately, these scams will likely continue and morph into new threats as the ubiquity of bitcoin makes it easier for scammers to hide behind these accounts and for victims to pay. In fact, while this article was originally written in March of 2018, Sophos security recently released a new study, based on millions of porn blackmail emails that were sent between September 2019 and March 2020, demonstrating this to be the case. During that period, sextortion emails made up 4.23% of all spam observed by Sophos. The study also showed scammers are using new methods for obfuscating email content to evade spam filters, enabling them to collect nearly a half million dollars in payments from victims during the same period. Fortunately, despite some payouts, potential victims seem to be becoming wise to the scam, as only half a percent of the Bitcoin addresses used in the spam messages received any payment, according to Sophos.

So, if you get one of these emails, should you pay the ransom before all your friends find out what you’ve been up to?

The answer is no, don’t be “fullish”.

[EDITOR'S NOTE REGARDING PASSWORD APPEARING IN THE EMAIL SCAM 7/12/18: A number of people have posted in the comments that they received a version of the email which includes a real password they've used in the past. Does this mean that they should be concerned? The answer is No and Yes. No, you shouldn't be concerned that your computer was hacked and you were actually filmed watching porn - it's still a scam. But, yes, you should be concerned that your password has been leaked through a data breach. Security researcher Troy Hunt has uncovered more than 500 million passwords leaked through these breaches. That password in the email was likely one of them. 

If it is still an active password for you, the scam email should be a big wake up call that you need to ensure you are using unique and secure passwords for every one of your accounts. We strongly recommend a password manager like Dashlane or 1Password , which will automatically check your passwords to see if they have been revealed in a breach and help you create unique, secure ones for every site.]

[EDITOR'S NOTE WARNING ABOUT ATTACHMENTS 7/20/18: One reader reported receiving an attachment titled "Invoice" with the porn scam email. If you get an attachment, DO NOT OPEN IT. Email attachments are one of the primary ways hackers use to install malware on your computer, which could turn this fake malware scam into a very real one.]

[EDITOR'S NOTE ABOUT EMAIL SPOOFING 10/19/18: Many readers are commenting that the porn blackmail email appears to be sent from their own email address, causing added concern the hacking claims may be real. But don't be fooled. Email spoofing has been around for a long time and is relatively easy to do. Usually the message headers will reveal the true sending email address. Here's how to tell if an email has been spoofed.]

[EDITOR'S NOTE ABOUT WORK VS PERSONAL EMAILS 1/21/19: A number of people are expressing concern in the comments that the blackmail email is coming to their work email, instead of their personal email (or both). It doesn't matter — an email address is a email address as far as this scam goes. Billions of emails have been leaked over the years, many of those from business-focused services such as Dropbox, LinkedIn and Adobe. If I check to see which of my email addresses have been involved in breaches, my work email has been breached many more times than my personal email.

I’ve never heard of a follow up call with these scams, because that takes a lot more time and effort. Nonetheless, I would assume it is the exact same scam unless they send you proof. And your best course of action either way is just to hangup and ignore them.

I received an email out of the blue.
My real name is in the title.
Compliments my abilities to masturbate for quite a length of time.
Threatens to send a clip of me they got from my computer camera to the contacts it has copied from my email.
They identify they are seeking financial payment but don’t identify how much in the body of the email, but there is an attachment.
I have 48 hours to make payment or the video will be distributed in 72 hours.
They have not provided any proof they have a clip

Recieved a new version, but highly similar. Included a text file attachment with my name, but obviously haven’t opened to see what it is

Greetings (first name). I’ve never realized the reason for wanking, to my mind this’s a poor thing contrary to the belief. Huh it is not for me to convict human beings of their predilection. I’m not talking and I will get straight to the point. I have shot on video wanking via ur device and its web camera and now I have an entertaining and compromising clip in relation to you. Do you wonder raise the question how did this happen? My program infected ur device, except ur camera activation I as well accessed to ur mail enquiries and to ur social networks. Now I do have the opportunity to share the mind blowing video tape with your co-workers, mates and closest people or simply distribute your clip on the net. My opening and closing offer to preserve ur public image in front of ur relatives – make payment to me for the job activity I carried out. I don’t care how you pass ur time off I get profit is hunting humans with such a love for play with yourself, that’s why I wanna win an award for my job. Forty-eight h remained from the moment of opening the message for the transfer, if u defy these requirements, I am gonna distribute your clip on the web and present it to your buds and relatives converting your existence into a fuckin tumultuous dream! This will occur within ninety six hours. I hope it’s all clear from what I have told? Apologize me for my English. Don’t attempt to contact me, your pleadings will not be heard, this mail is hacked and soon there will be no access to it.

Yeah I got a very similar email (they just switched some words around) after some digging I figured out it’s a scam coming from breached AOL emails, I’m on the hunt to find where this new version is originating from but it looks like it can be convincing to people who get scared of their names being shown in the email, relax this is just a large scale spam.

I got this email today and even reading these comments and the article. I’m interested to know what you think since they used my name… Hello (my name) Ruthless sex offender of your hand. You are a real monster of wanking, if ur hand were able to escape from you, it would have certainly done this already. Now you read over the msg and have no idea what is happening, but it’s really simple. I have got ur personally owned video with your sexual stimulation which I can present to your loved ones and upload it on the Internet. Accessing sites for grown-ups, you must not be astonished at a spectator who infected your device and switched on your web camera, and has accessed to your contacts and social networks. You effect payment to me, and in return I will destroy your sad video tape and leave you in peace. BTC 1s3xaVnSggGeduY8WeHF6vuejLgGpYeiy, fair price 1199 usd. Otherwise, I’ll be made to present it to the entire world. Forty eight hours is a fair time for resolving the monetary question. Don’t write to me, this address is gonna be deleted on security grounds. Remember, forty eight h as soon as u read the message, I’ll see this.

Unfortunately, these types of impersonation scams have been going around for a long time, as well. In the past, first contact was often made through fake Facebook profiles.

If you’re a victim of one of these scams, the best advice is to not pay the money. It’s unlikely they would ever post the videos and if you do pay, there’s no assurance they won’t come back for more money later. You should also contact the FBI to report the extortion attempt, which you can do through the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center https://www.ic3.gov/.

Hello,
I’m worried because someone has sent me 8 vibrators to my address, with my name, University email…through a porn website called xhamster (a website that I’ve never heard off). I contacted the website and they confirmed they haven’t send anything. In addition, I went to the police office and they told me they couldn’t help me unless they do something physical to me. Please, can someone help me? I need to know if this has happened already to someone or how where they got all that information.
Thank you.

From Josh Kirschner on October 11, 2021 :: 6:24 pm


Xhamster is one of the largest porn sites (and, actually, one of the largest sites in the world, based on traffic). But I don’t see anywhere they actually sell physical products, like vibrators (yes, I checked…). Are you sure that’s where they came from? If you can determine who the real shipper is, you may be able to uncover more information about who purchased them.

Beyond that, I’m not sure there is much more you can do if the police won’t get involved. Most likely this is someone who knows you at some level, as someone is spending money to buy those products. And that is likely how they have your address and other info.

I happened to have been using my phone, checking notifications. As I swiped off an incoming whatsapp message and returned the phone to home screen, it was hijacked. navigation bar pulled down, settings then pressed (the cog - on android), that scrolled around. i hit home thinking display is capturing my hovering fingers wrong, it then hit weather app, scrolled through the days, back to notification bar, and moved that up and down multiple times, clearly someone trying to get my attention. I immediately turned off phone, restarted it and then immediately turned off all web connections before network signal kicked in, turned on no root firewall, turned networks back on, checked my email and only allowed the email app access to the net, and i had a new email, from my own fake email address (this is an address i use, so if compromised, i change it to a new fake one - but all my mail is forwarded to my real email address. and its the same message, all perfect english. I am now doing device updates (its been 10 months since i last installed one). This hacker can definately control the device, therefore all images/videos/cams etc may have been indeed watched/copied across to the hackers computer. This is not just an ordinary “spam” email, this is definately real. Note, I do not allow ANY email to send reciepts, show images etc, and I never click attachments. This is 100% a zero-click attack, and has massive potential to be real serious. EVERYONE UPDATE YOUR MOBILE DEVICES IMMEDIATELY. I ignored the first email, this one however, seems to be the follow up - which I’m also ignoring - so will let you know how it goes if I remember. (note, email for this reply is also not my real one, but I can still recieve mail should you (author of article) have any specific questions i may be able to answer.

From Michael Kelso on November 08, 2021 :: 5:43 pm


Good day.
Your system has been hacked with a Trojan virus.
It has penetrated your device through adult portals which you sometimes visit.
Some spicy videos contain malicious code that activates after being turned on. Your entire information has already been copied to my servers.


I possess complete control over your device which you use to access the Internet.
I can see your screen, I can use a microphone and a camera in a way that you never notice anything.

I’ve already made a screen recording.
A video was edited with a pornographic movie that you were watching at that time and masturbating.
Your face is perfectly visible and I don’t think that this kind of content will have a positive impact on your reputation.

I have an overall access to your list of contacts and the social media profiles. I can send this video from your E-mail or the messengers.

If you don’t want to let this happen, then you only need to take one simple step.
Just transfer 1400 USD (US dollars) to Bitcoin wallet: bc1qkrr7e4q587fp692hxcc6gcshk3gadkwy3d432a

(In a Bitcoin equivalent at the exchange rate for the time of transfer) You can find the detailed instructions in Google.

After the payment I will remove the video and the virus from your device and no one will bother you anymore.
If I won’t receive the payment in due time, all of your data and the videos will become publicly available.

I give you 2 business days.

I shall receive a notification that you have read the letter.
The timer starts immediately.
Any complain somewhere, including the police, is useless. My wallet and an E-mail cannot be tracked.

If I find out that you have shared this message with someone else, the video will become publicly available at once.
I will destroy your reputation forever and all your data will go public.

Everyone will learn about your passion for the porn sites and more. Changing the passwords will be useless either as all the data is already on my servers.

Don’t forget that reputation is very important and be prudent!

Received this today. Did anyone else?:

“I would like to reward you for ur extraordinary achievements in the sphere of masturbation!)
You are a mature person, but your hobbies are really hell!
Ur relatives will instantly criticize u, once they hear about ur hobby.
Ur hobby is like the addiction of drug abusers, and this should be treated.
You can read and watch lots of informative videos on how it’s easy to get access to the camera of a vulnerable device.
What else can you think about besides the security of your device, doing your heinous stuff?
U can direct to any authorities, they will not be able to save you from disgrace, that’s why you satisfy my requirements, or ur reputation will be destroyed.
Lf4YDfYybrgfQzB57uzUuso66Norfu1nAK Litecoin, 917 GBP, these are my requisitions, and I provide u with thirty-six hours to satisfy them, as soon as the message is read. Or I will send blackmail material on u to your contacts from ur email, and I still haven’t decided what else I can do.
I really doubt that the religion would compliment u for ur hobbies.
I was always surprised by people’s recklessness, they never think about anything until they face a real problem.
I will have no access to the present email address, that’s why my claims are not subject to negotiation. Even I care about my safety!

ALERT! I’m hacked your computer and stolen you information
To: (actual name)
Hey (school mail)
Your computer was infected with my malware!
Your passWord for this mail: (actual password)
am a programmer and hacked your computer 3 months ago. I kept saving information all the time, such as: browsing
history, sreen recordings, contacts, messages and much more.
l already wanted to forget you, but recently saw something interesting on your desktop. I’m talking about the day you
visited a porn site. I decided to record video from the webcam and desktop. Now I have a video of you masturbating
yourself. You know what I mean
I connected to the webcam remotely, and turned off the indicator so that you would not notice anything.
I have already written down all your contacts from the address book. All contacts from friends, acquaintances, relatives.
All this will be with me.
Iam ready to forget about all this and completely stop accessing your computer and email. I guarantee I will not send
these videos and delete all archives with them. After that I will leave and no longer bother you, but for that I want to
have $500 worth of bitcoins in my wallet. You have 48 hours after reading this email. I still control your email and
computer - and I know when you open them and read them.
Don’t try to change your email password, everything is under control. Do not try to contact me and answer this letter. I
sent it to you from your email address. Take a look at the sender, you will see that I have complete control over your
email and your computer.
Bitcoin wallet address:
3N32M7QwB2HGCGLuEBTNBSAZFM49UjfFXy
If you do not know how to buy bitcoins, you can find information on how to buy bitcoins online. If you need help, you
Can read several articles about it.
https://localbitcoins.com/guides/how-to-buy-bitcoinsS
https://www.coinbase.com/buy-bitcoin?locale-en
https://paxful.com/how-to-buy-bitcoin
I look forward to your actions. If you don’t need this data online and with all your friends, send $500 to my wallet ASAP
After that I will erase all data and disappear from your life
Do not be offended by me. If you pay, nothing happens.
Next time update your browser before browsing the web!

Do I need to worry, I know that the footage he has is impossible bcs 1. My laptop has a camera cover build in and thats always closed except from when I have online class. 2. I think I bought this laptop just 3 months ago (20th of october) new, so not second hand. But this is still my school mail and I don’t want this spam mails and stuff to spread to other in my school bcs that would bring chaos for the IT people. Also idk how to got my password and stuff. So should I be worried?

As I lay out in the article, these scammers use information from data leaks (email/passwords/names) to make it seem like they have access to your computer - they don’t. Note that they provide your password details, but not the obvious information of what website you supposedly visited. So ignore this email.

That said, if you were sent your actual active email password, it indicates you’re using very poor password security practices, leaving you and your friends open to a variety of hacks and scams. You should always be using complex, unique passwords for every account, especially critical ones like your email. And I strongly recommend a password manager like Dashlane or <a>1Password</a> to make that process simple.

No Subject


I have no idea who brought you up, but this is odd that nobody informed you that wank that hard is a bad thing.
U’re a fascinating specimen even for me, because I get access to somebody else’s devices and this is what I always practice.
Maybe, you believe that u’re a good individual, but do good people wank that hard?
You know, I often observe humans when they have no idea that someone watched them, at this time the real essence of an individual reveals, and usually it’s really nasty.
Here is a word of advice for you, no one can look after ur safety on the net better, than u.
Bitcoin 139TjDcx1Aqzq3BrMtcv5EigAnXhkGPMfn, 1249 USD, I believe that it is not a big amount for my work, and I swear that nobody will ever find out your dirty secrets if I get my reward, u have 38 hours.
The moment you opened this text, the countdown started, and it does not matter when it occurred.
If u are interested in what will happen in case you refuse to meet my demands, then u gotta understand that ur contacts are at my disposal, and if u leave me unhappy, then within 82 hours everybody u communicate with will watch an entertaining clip with you in the title role, and later the whole Internet will see it as well.

Thank you so much for this article. It was just nice to see how easy it was to be a victim of this. So basically you’re saying they are getting a list or lists of emails addresses and linked passwords somehow and putting those together. Then just mass email and hope a few are ashamed enough to pay.  My letter said this.

I’d never thought that masturbation is your obsession If I saw u on the street.
Addictions like urs need to be fought, they ruin a person.
Hopefully, there are no such surprising people like you in my surrounding.
It is very easy to access to ur webcam and contacts from your e-mail, cos u are really careless.
I’ll forget about you and delete the clip where u participate if within fifty-two h you do this Bitcoin 1LsEZKLLdXcwU828BJPn3CmVHixHDBvodq, 831 $.
If in 76 h I don’t see what I want, u will regret that u were born, and the online world and ur contact list will look at your detestable practices.

My husband just received a text asking for money or will release compromising information to his family.  They had screen shots of part of these iMessages (which look fishy) but the really freaky part is they sent a “selfie type” picture of him (like from his iPad) sitting on our couch.  They had been calling non stop as well The text messages to him are kinda rudimentary and it all screams scammer but the photo has thrown us for a loop. We changed all passwords and made sure apps have no access to camera but it’s still freaking us out.

Internet trolls have various ways to send you the most insane content known to man. From midget porn to snuff films. Even if you don’t click on to see what you were unknowingly sent hacking and photoshopping capabilities have evolved to the point anything at all can now be created that may not even be real. Americans in general are pretty crazy anymore as well as street savvy. With Me for prime example Will always give show. As far as any form of blackmail demanded by any cyberpunk/hacker I say “YOU KNOW RIGHT WHERE IM AT FEEL FREE TO STOP BY ANY TIME FOR YOUR PAYMENT AND YOU CAN TELL ME THEN HOW IT WORKS OUT FOR YOU”. Combine all of these stories I’ve read at length on here and I assure you mine is far worse. I’d sooner die before I’d ever give into cyberbullying.

Just received this one today, although I have not seen this version of it in the comments. Should I be worried about it? It has my last name and part of my phone number.

Isn’t calling XXX-XXX-XXXX too personal to talk to you.
I will cut to the chase. You don’t know me whereas I know alot about you and you must be wondering why are you receiving this e-mail, right?
I installed a Malware on porn website and there’s more, you accessed this sex website to experience pleasure (if you know what I mean). And when you got busy enjoying our videos, your browser started out working as a RDP (Remote Protocol) with a backdoor which allowed me accessibility to your system and also your camera controls. Right after that, my software collected all of your data and all your contacts from device including all of your photos.

What I want?
It’s just your misfortune that I saw your bad deeds. After that I put in more days than I probably should have exploring into your life and generated a double display video. 1st part displays the video you were watching and 2nd half displays the video from your cam (it is someone doing dirty things). As a family man, I am ready to delete details about you and let you move on with your daily life. And I am about to present you a way out which will make it happen. Those two choices are either to turn a blind eye to this letter (not recommended), or pay me a small amount to close this mattter forever.

Exactly what should you do?
Let us examine these 2 options in depth. First Alternative is to turn a deaf ear this mail. Let me tell you what will happen if you select this option.
